A

It’s a white Christmas in the United States today, with snow falling from Seattle to Maine.

l Northeast

Biting winds with snow swept the Northeast.

Earlier, up to 15 inches of snow fell during a snow storm in Maine, while up to one foot fell in New Hampshire. Winds reached 76 mph on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, while up to 61 mph winds tore through Long Island, New York. Falling snow collected on the runways at Boston’s Logan International Airport, causing temporary flight delays.学科!%网

The wind was so severe in Pennsylvania and New Jersey that the annual reenactment (重演) of George Washington and his soldiers’ crossing the Delaware River was canceled, the Washington Crossing Historic Park told ABC News.

l Midwest

Heavy lake effect snow fell in western Michigan.

The National Weather Service has issued a wind-chill warning and advisory (公告) from Montana to Michigan. Bitter cold air in the Midwest produced wind chills Monday morning as low as minus-48 degrees in North Dakota and minus-47 in northern Minnesota.

As this bitter cold made its way east overnight, it was expected to move over relatively mild Great Lakes, producing intense lake-effect snow bands capable of producing 2 to 4 inches of snow in an hour.

l West Coast

That storm system moved overnight through the Rockies, bringing more snow and the threat of avalanches (雪崩). The National Weather Service has issued an avalanche warning for the Wasatch Range Mountains outside Salt Lake City.

 

1. Why was the annual reenactment of George Washington and his soldiers’ crossing the Delaware River canceled?

A. Because the river was frozen.    

B. Because the wind was too strong.

C. Because the snow was too thick.   

D. Because the temperature was too low.

C. A mess of people’s life.

D. A bad-weather warning and advisory.

 

B

I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.

I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job, and then became a full-time journalist.

Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that---even if that excitement can come with a side of pain and frustration.

I have lost count of the numbers of e-mails I have had ignored. I have spent hours at meetings listening as hard as I could for a story——only to go home empty-handed.

Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke at night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story...then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which on name on it, only 100 words long.

Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going. If you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.[来源:学科网ZXXK]

I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas, and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, the residents phoned me, overjoyed. The managers had apologized and promised to change their ways.

Journalism can be dangerous and dull, and the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. But it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making a difference- and telling the world about it.

4. What is the article mainly about?

A. Getting started in a career in journalism

B. The author’s colorful experiences as a journalist.

C. How you can be a good journalist.

D. Why life is easier for male journalist.

5. According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from_______.

A. unfair treatment

 B. fruitless efforts

C. misunderstanding

D. danger and risks

6. What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that _______.

A. she gets to see her name printed

B. she earns a lot through writing fun stories

C. she can meet different people and hear their stories

D. she can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives

7. From the article we can conclude that the author_______.

A. is not good at keeping secrets.

B. does not mind the challenges in her career.

C. is not appreciated by her editor.

D. is interested in exciting and dangerous work.

Roger Federer, who recently became the oldest man to hold the No. 1 ranking in men’s tennis at the age 36, will bring a 12-match winning streak (连胜) to the BNP Paribas Open, which starts this week at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Federer, a five-time winner of the hard-court event and a 20-time Grand Slam singles champion, on Tuesday was seeded No. 1 in a field that has been given up by injuries to several excellent players. Among those missing are world No. 2 Rafael Nadal (hip injury), Stan Wawrinka (knee), who lost to Federer in the 2017 final, David Goffin (eye) and Andy Murray (hip surgery).[来源:学。科。网]

Federer, who has spent 305 weeks of his career at the top the Assn of Tennis Professional world rankings, must reach the semifinals (半决赛) at Indian Wells to keep his No. 1 status. If he exits sooner than that, Nadal would regain the top spot. Federer has a first-round bye (轮空) and a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals, where he likely would face No. 5 seed Dominic Thiem of Austria.

Five-time Indian Wells champion Novak Djokovic, who had a small medical intervention (干预) on his troublesome right elbow earlier this year, was seeded 10th in the tournament. Djokovic has played only four matches this year because of his elbow problems and hasn’t played a tournament since he lost to Hyeon Chung of South Korea in the round of 16 at the Australian Open in January.

Maria Sharapova of Russia will face Naomi Osaka of Japan on Wednesday with their match scheduled for not before 5:00 p.m.

On Thursday, Serena Williams will play Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan and Victoria Azarenka of Belarus will play Heather Watson of the United Kingdom during the evening session (7 p.m. start).

8. Why does Federer have a seemingly easy projected route to the quarterfinals?

A. Because he is seeded No. 1

B. Because many excellent players are missing.

C. Because he has a first-round bye.

D. Because he is well enough to beat any player.

9. Who is most likely to be the seed next to Federer among the players who can play in the BNP Paribas Open?

A. Rafael Nadal.       

B. Dominic Thiem.  

C. Novak Djokovic.       

D. Maria Sharapova.

10. What is the trouble with Novak Djokovic, which stopped him playing the tournament?

A. He has elbow problems.     

B. He has played fewest matches. 

C. He lost to Hyeon Chung.     

D. He was seeded 10th in the tournament.

11. Why does the author use most words to talk about Federer?

A. Because he is seeded No. 1.

B. Because will bring a 12-match winning streak.

C. Because the author believes he can beat anyone in the tournament.

D. Because he is the oldest to hold the No. 1 ranking and was seeded No. 1.
